1970 Niepoort Colheita Port

Bottled in 1986, a amber/orange colour with bricking on the edge. Raisins, marzipan. Long soft and voloptues aftertaste with a superb balance. Definately the blockbuster of the evening.
Never had a Niepoort Colheita before. This one is a keeper.
I wonder what it would be if it was given more time to breath.

I've only had this once, and although it had a ton of bottle stink when first opened, was a beauty. Glad you got to try this bottle as your first Niepoort Colheita so you can see how great some of them are.

Erik,
As a Dutchman, I am kinda surprised that you've never had a Niepoort Colheita before. If I am not mistaken, Dirk's Ports are very well represented in your country. I don't know which I like more the Colheita or the 1970 VP by Niepoort, as both are excellent. Glad you finally lost your Niepoort Colheita virginity.
